We walk about three times around the world in a lifetime. Foot bone changes and footwear put stress on the skin, which responds by building up corns, calluses and cracks (fissures).
Your Reg. PodOrtho® Foot Specialist removes excess hard skin and the centre (nucleus) of a corn to relieve pain. Most clients book maintenance every 2–8 weeks. We also recommend footwear, orthotics or soft off-loading devices to stop it coming back.
Home care: ask about Footlogix Double Defense and Footlogix Cracked Skin Mousse, available at the clinic.
Warts are benign viral growths, usually on the bottom of the foot. They can be painful and are contagious, so it is best to treat them early to protect family members and others at gyms and pools.
We use thermal laser to vaporise the virus and seal the small blood vessels that feed the wart, then gently debride the excess tissue. Most warts need three or more treatments depending on size and depth.
